Patriot Pacas

Patriot Pacas alpacas in Cattaraugus, NY, serve Cattaraugus County and Western New York near Buffalo.

Tom Horrigan and Denise Horrigan have over a decade of experience caring for alpacas and maintain registry memberships to monitor lineage and support breed standards. Their herd lives on gently rolling pastures, where animals have access to shelter, rotational grazing, and individualized enrichment routines. They work with a local large-animal veterinarian for regular health checks and follow nutrition plans that adapt to seasonal needs.

Patriot Pacas encourages socialization through daily handling sessions and group training, leading to calm temperament and improved fiber growth. They share detailed fleece evaluations and breeding updates with prospective owners to foster an informed selection process. Small-group farm visits provide hands-on experience with animal husbandry and offer a sense of the farm’s rural heritage. Finished fleece is processed in small batches on-site, and they collaborate with local artisans to showcase natural fiber in handcrafted products.
